H2: the content in section a1, section h6, and section h10 has been updated.Block h6: imdrf device code a150103 captures the reportable event of tip premature deployment block h10: the returned trapezoid rx was analyzed, and a visual inspection observed that the that the working length was bent, the side car rx was pushed back and stretched, and the tip of the basket was detached.A functional test was performed, and the basket was able to open despite the tip being detached.The reported event was not confirmed.The basket was returned with the tip detached; however, there is not enough evidence to confirm if the tip detached prematurely or as intended per the instructions for use (ifu).The ifu states, "in the event the biliary calculi cannot be crushed, the trapezoid rx wireguided retrieval basket has been designed for the basket tip to disengage minimizing the potential for the unreleasable stone entrapment".Additionally, it was found that the sidecar rx was pushed back and stretched, and the working length was kinked.It is most likely that the damage to the device was due to extra tension applied to the device during the procedure.Therefore, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.
